Nominations Open for "HIP" Awards 2013

Mark your calendars! The second annual History Affiliates Awards Luncheon will be held on October 25, 2013 at the Union League of Philadelphia.

I had a blast at last year's awards program[1], celebrating the achievements of all-volunteer, small, and mid-sized history and heritage organizations in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.

Not to play favorites, but I hope even more HCI-PSAR participants will be HIP Awards winners this year!

Nominations are now open for excellence in the following areas (with sub-groups within each based on organization size: all-volunteer, small, and mid-sized):
